The property itself was delightful and very clean. Had all of the appliances for cooking and coffee. Very cozy. The location was fantastic! Right by the the city, Duke and all the good restaurants. I felt very safe in this location.
Great house for a larger family stay. Very clean. Had 6 adults staying was perfect floor plan, good amenities. Close to Duke. Would definitely stay again.
This was the most comfortable vacation rental we have ever stayed in. I was sold as soon as I saw that they use Free & Clear unscented laundry detergent, but the hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my request for fragrance free cleaning and not using air fresheners before our arrival. The air quality in the home was fantastic! The kitchen was well stocked with bakeware, utensils and dishes. We shared the space with our two grown sons and their partners. It was a perfect place to sit around the table, talking over meals and long into the night. We visited with a lot of relatives while in Durham, and appreciated the central location.
We were in town to meet our new Grandbaby. The house was very comfortable for 5 adults. It was equipped with everything we needed, including little things like coffee, coffee filters, dishwasher detergent, etc. It was a rainy weekend, but we enjoyed some outside time on the covered front porch.
We had a great stay in Durham at this property. We were in town for 3 nights for an event at DPAC and this location was great! both driving and Bering was easy from this spot, it's relatively private and was supplied with everything we needed for our stay.
The bedrooms were roomy, super functional and clean. The communal space and deck were very inviting.
We enjoyed staying and visiting here with Family. The place was perfect and fit our every need. If we come back that way again, I would love to stay again.
Perfect for our family’s visit to Duke. We will stay here again.
Great location only a few minutes drive to downtown Durham. Definitely one of the better Vrbos I have stayed in.
This is a nice home, close to Durham. It is not really walking distance. It worked well for a weekend wedding reception - the bedrooms allowed separation of families. Note that the front bedroom's bathroom is shared with the third bedroom, past the kitchen. Two of the bedrooms have on suites which is nice, particularly for our older parents. The house would be better with more functional furniture in the living room. There was a sectional that was quite low and difficult for our elders (and us!) to get out of, and then only two extra seats. We brought lawn chairs to use, and glad we did. If you had a full house (all bedrooms full), there is not enough seating.
Perfect property for a off the path retreat. Short drive to campus. Nice amenities and spacious. Very happy. Owner communicates very well.
